If there is no metal baffle bisecting the pipe and the angled baffle is about 1 or one and 1/2 inches above the bottom then that is the later design pipe.

And it didn't work either. That's why the 32 pipe is larger with larger baffles and cap.

unfortunately no. I can get it, but it will be a while before I see it again.

Pat, Since I already have the Weber, that sounds like a perfect solution. I often wondered what that extra open hole in the air cleaner was for! Any info you have on this would be great!

Here's a pic of what I've used for the last 23 years: A plastic WD40 cap, drilled and placed in the oil filler cap - fits just right, doesn't allow much blowby, keeps the crankcase vented, and doesn't leak little pieces of steel.

This is titled PCV'ING A MODEL "A" and is taken from Technically Speaking (vol. 7 pg. 113).



They list the oil filler cap and pcv vale as being Jeep-Eagle parts (cap J3220248 valve J3236675 and hose J8125841).

If I was going to put a pcv valve I like this setup better.

To be honest, I don't either. But since the question was asked, I provided an answer based on an illustration in a Murry Fahnstock book.
